Almost summer
I can feel it. The weather's hotting up, the pool opens tomorrow and school finishes next week. We're planning a bit of camping and a whole lot of relaxing this summer. After dinner tonight we compiled a family wish list for the holidays, here's what we came up with: Make lemonade and pops...
Your trip sounds perfect...love the dirty nails and smores!

Camping
This weekend was our first camping trip of the year. It rained. A whole lot the first day. I've never camped in conditions like it before, it was damp, cold and muddy and well, er, wet. My first thoughts were that it was a disaster, especially when there was a huge rainstorm in the middle of ...
I would love to sit on that beach and craft with you!

beach crafting
People laugh because I bring a sewing machine and fabric and the gocco and other supplies to the beach. But when it looks like this for most of June: a lot of crafting calls to be accomplished. Add in a lack of internet access, other than on my phone, and you get a lot done. So far I have m...

pray for ruby
Yesterday afternoon, Dan was working outside, while the girls and I were in the house, in various stages of "getting ready for naps." Ruby had fallen asleep under the car and Dan backed it up, unaware that she was under it, sleeping in the dark shadows. We aren't sure exactly what happened. Sh...
Aw, I'm crying now.
You have taught them a lot with this experience and I'm glad you found a home close by.
I'm going to miss them too.

Bye Bye Birdies
It was a long time coming. Still, I never actually thought the day would arrive that we would say good bye to our beloved old gals... our little clutch of hens. They weren't farm animals or anything resembling "poultry" to us. They were pets, friends even. My boys toted them around the ya...
Thank you for the link, now I am embarassed...
I know what you mean about just putting something on the table. I picked up a cookbook at the library for inspiration - reminded me of you; Screen Doors & Sweet Tea. I also just finished Twilight - a bit behind the popular kids.
I hope your weekend was good.

The Weekend List
This weekend my goals are: a) Help my son with his butterfly garden. (must plant the newly acquired milkweed and passion vine b) Do SOMETHING about my closet and the stacks of papers and books and projects and art supplies and who knows what else in the school room. c) Make something delicio...
I love it and I'm sure the teacher would love it too.
I thought of you today - the Sew Mama Sew giveaway is going on.

Another FFO
Finally finished object that is. I'm not sure what happened here - Typepad ate half my post - see original post below! I started making this as a Christmas gift for Ruby’s kindergarten teacher, and here it is completed all most six months later, in time for the end of the school year in just...
I've seen these bench pictures all over. Must find a bench and super cute shoes like yours.

Finally. Finished.
Finally finished this week after almost a year in the making. Here it is, my first full size (about 90 x 90 inches) quilt. Things I love about it: The binding. I didn't have enough of one single fabric left to make all of it, so I just used a mix of what I had left and love the final ...
I feel your pain, we are not spending either and it makes everything look better.

Stamping Up a Storm
I don't know if I would count my stamping of three Moleskine notebooks with rubber stamps that I got from Karaku Style and Terbear Collectibles as "crafting," but I really had a lot of fun doing it and I like how they turned out. I do think that there can be artistry in rubber stamping, eve...

when you look at a pair of sandals and say to yourself. "Hmmm, they look comfy." SOLD! I seem to remember this being a Victoria Wood joke about scholl clogs. I draw the line at scholls but this is my second pair of birkenstocks, the previous ones lasted a good 4 years and I loved them dearly. T...

Painting
Finally some children crafting this weekend. With a pirate party to go to requiring a bit of dress up, I figured freezer stencilled tshirts would fit the bill perfectly. I've done stencils like this before, but this is the first time the children have done the painting part. They did a great jo...
That looks really good. Never thought of adding something green.

Bubbles
Along with the melting of snow and the arrival flowers, sunshine and birdsong there's another important signal hailing the beginning of spring in our house; bubbles. Not to be taken lightly, bubble making is a serious business in our back garden. First, you must be equipped with the appropriate t...

Random post holiday musings
Hello, I'm back from a week in the sun with my family. Refreshed and glad to be home but sad to say goodbye to my parents, sister, her husband and very grown up nieces. As much as I love crafting travel is truly my first love. I feel very fortunate to have visited so many places and to share ...

Dear reader, this month marks the one year anniversary of the advent of Tollipop. It's been a cozy little corner in which to draw pretty pictures, write silly stories, and muse about life...who knew there was a place to indulge such whims? Beyond that, it has been lovely to become a small ...

The Things We Carry
There's always that point, at the park or at a dinner gathering, or at the end of a long day, when the grown ups in the room shake their heads at the boundless, never tiring enthusiasm of the children present and say, "I don't now where they get the energy." I think I've got it figured out... ...

how is it going? and jellybean math
Caution: long post ahead Now that I've been homeschooling Annika for 3 months, I've had a lot of questions about how it's going. And the easy answer is that it's going really well. She's happy, I'm happy, she's engaged in doing some cool stuff. But I have this nagging feeling that it's not an ...

Beautiful. Will you come to my house and sew me a quilt?

Done!
Of course the yellow quilt won hands down! Quilting this little baby took less than an hour! I was hoping to take some sunnier pictures but we've had two days of rain. These photos were taken in between rain showers. And my favourite part? Sewing the binding by hand. I love that the final tou...

He naps! He rows and runs! He watches documentaries! He buys dinners with spare change! And he takes great pictures: These are just a few examples of the fun he had with the D80 while we were gone. Very nice, yes? P.S. Feel free to hop on over to my poor, languishing SuperC...
